ABOUT ANDREW JACKSON

With all the skills of a Global Group Human Resources Director/Chief People Officer in the high-value manufacturing and construction industries, I excel in the HR and people strategies that build and transform organisations to meet challenging corporate objectives. In my roles as HR Director at Alstom UK & Ireland, Chief People Officer at Harland & Wolff, and at Mouchel Management Consulting, I have developed and executed HR strategies aligned with business goals, driving both commercial success and sustainable growth. My strategy, planning, engineering and consulting background, and commercial, acumen has shaped organisational structures, policies, and teams, leading to the successful transformation of business constrained by resources, skills and their legacy cultures.I have a proven ability to build trust within and outside the organisation, fostering collaboration that drives results. A generalist who thrives given the broad scope of senior leadership responsibilities, my expertise spans industrial relations, talent management, EDI, and organisational development. I lead with a strong ethical and values-based approach, engaging teams through clear communication and shared purpose. I create resilient, high-performing teams that are prepared to meet the future needs of the business. I am now exploring opportunities as a Group HR Director or Chief People Officer in both the UK and Europe, where I can apply my rich mix of strategic, planning, people and commercial skills to navigate complex business challenges and deliver sustainable success.
